Dallas Mavericks

The backcourt is an area that the Dallas Mavericks have been attempting to improve over the years and they’ve succeeded. Jalen Brunson will be entering free agency and while he’s likely to return, Kemba Walker could be a potential stopgap replacement.

Brunson scored 16.3 points per game during the regular season. What is the playoffs began, he took over as a second option to Luka Doncic. Now, Brunson could find a lucrative deal in free agency.

There is also a scenario where adding Walker presents the Mavericks with a solid backup guard option to play alongside Spencer Dinwiddie in the second unit and offer a fourth guard option. Walker’s pull-up 3-point shooting could go a long way on a roster limited in that regard.

The Mavericks have arrived in the Western Conference and want to make sure that they were made to the top. While they very well could achieve it this season, maintaining their success could be made possible by adding another scoring threat.
